I dunno if I can do a top 10 so far because I haven't really been listening to as much music this year, but here's what I have been enjoying
In no particular order
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets - The Dukes of Alhazred
Been 10 years since their last album and it was worth the wait. A very fun 40 minute punk rock romp through Lovecraft Country and funny natural disasters
Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar
Probably the best Ulver album since Perdition City. Their take on '80's synth pop is perfect.
Sadistik - Altars
I enjoyed this more than Flowers For My Father and Ultraviolet. It's dark and atmospheric.
Gorillaz - Humanz
At first I didn't care for this album, it felt like it was a various artists album that features the Gorillaz, but after a few more listens I've really grown to like a lot of the songs.
Demonic Death Judge - Seaweed
Honestly this is just on here to round out the list. It's not a bad album, but it's kind of more of the same. Consider it more of a placeholder for the time being.
